Raphael Saadiq

I was trying to watch some clips from the Austin City Music Festival, but missed all my favorites. Then while I was perusing the ACL Flickr photo stream I ran across this very swell-looking guy. I thought, what a great look- he's got the whole 60's thing going and I could just tell by the pictures that the music was awesome! I found his name and looked up some videos. Loved them, who is this new guy? I was thinking a 20-something from the UK- who's caught on to the whole soul revival over there. Boy was I surprised to find that wasn't the case at all! I loved that song "Feels Good" by Tony Toni Tone in the 80's. I never thought about what might have happened to them. Well I found out about one third-- he is Raphael Saadiq and he's awesome. Here he is performing behind a desk in the NPR Tiny Desk Concert Series. An awesome way to listen to music, if you ask me. Imagine- in your own cramped little office space! This is amazing...
